The Sassy llamas
Had some weetabix to fuel us for our hike, headed to Vernal Falls to complete the Mist trail up to the top of the waterfall. We climbed 1,000ft to see the impressive waterfall and amazing scenery! After a tasty treat we began our decent and completed the happy trails route learning about glaciers and rockfalls!
We had our lunch, and planned to head to glacier point...but after a helpful ranger informed us we would need a fuel stop (so we needed a slight detour back to el portal to fill the tank!)
We drove to Glacier point, spotting some baby bear cubs on route (making RF's dreams come through) We made the 7,214ft climb and took some breath taking photos.
Heading back down to Yosemite Village in search of wifi and some dinner, failed on both as the grill closed at 5pm, but headed back to Curry Village and ate in there. Now back to Ceder Lodge for a relaxing evening (finally!)
